Ascension School recognizes that each individual is a child of God – having a divine origin and an eternal destiny. In an atmosphere of trust, openness and respect, each student is guided first to the idea and then to the realization of a process of formation which helps each child achieve understanding, acceptance and utilization of his/her God-given talents. Ascension School provides opportunities for fostering the growth of religious attitudes, moral behavior and academic achievement. Every student is challenged to strive for excellence at the highest possible level of formation.

Ascension School was established in 1941 by Fr. John F. Godfrey. It began a two room schoolhouse with 56 students. Classes were taught by two Sisters from Most Precious Blood, who lived at St. Monica's and traveled each day by bus. In 1958, the first portion of the current school was built on six adjoining acres, and Fr. Godfrey’s suggestion of naming the street Santa Maria Drive was approved.  In 1977, the current church was erected, and four classrooms and two offices were added on to the school.  The expansion continued in 1984 with the additon of the gym, MPR and more classrooms. In 1998, the 3rd additon was completed, adding the south wing.

Ascension is blessed to have a beautiful well-maintained campus, including the Church, Little Church, Parish Hall, Parish Offices.  The Educational complex encompasses the Little School, Elementary School, Middle School, and Library. The campus also features a Gymnasium, Multi Purpose Room, Playground, and Sports Fields, as well as multiple sites for prayer and reflection.
